In response to a request from another CFF coach, Tara Parr responded: "Technology, in our district, is a special area for elementary students. The students, grades 1-5, have technology for 40 minutes once every 6 days. In kindergarten, it is 30 minutes once every 6 days. The technology teachers strive to integrate with the classroom teachers as much as possible on projects." She also included documents outlining their technology curriculum in K-5th grade. She gave permission in her email for other districts to use and give their thoughts. Those documents are shown below.

Jennifer Kraft of the North Schuykill School District provided this statement and ning link: "We did not have anything real curricular to follow, but I did find a lot of help and good suggestions in the forum here: http://elementarytechteachers.ning.com/. One teacher had a pacing guide that I plan on sort of using next year (changing to fit my needs) and there is a series from K-5 by Structured Learning that you can buy on Amazon."
Suggestions for Technology Courses
Technology for Everyday Living - a course on how students currently use it, how they should be using it, how will they use it in their future? Learn and explore web-based tools and incorporate project-based learning in real application scenarios. This is a course I am just in the infancy stages of developing. --Dotty Noll, Eastern Lebanon School District(Dr. Nilsen’s districtJ)
